I am hoping that maybe you would be interested in celebrating your diaversary the same way I am, by going to this event.
I have an email saying that the person writing this blog is also coming.
I know it's a schlep from the suburbs.

Hi!
Just wrote and deleted on your swap thread, thought I'd post here instead.
I haven't the first clue how the CWD forum works, but my husband tells me that the standard advice for forum moderation is to never claim to moderate for legality and safety. The thing is, if CWD says they will take off posts about prescription meds because it's illegal, then something slips through, CWD is now liable for that. It's like they are part of the criminal act, safety violation, whatever.
Crazy, I know. But you can see that this would mean either leave it relatively unmoderated or take it off entirely, which would be a shame.
But I totally get your concern. I worry most about someone trying to pinch pennies by buying old insulin, etc. But I think the good outweighs the bad.
For what it's worth!
Have a great one.

Thanks Tricia, it was lovely meeting you too and great to see you with the other young adults. And thanks too for your very nice message! :-)

Are you getting excited!? Less than a month :-D

I booked my flight to come in around 11am on 7/6 so I'm staying an extra night in the beginning, and then I leave at 7pm on 7/12, Soooo excited!

Very cool, did you have clinicals and what not last semester? I bet this will be an awesome break from everything! I'm working at a hospital right now, just paperwork though, and I hope to get a job soon as a nurse assitant to get some more experience. I was a counselor at a camp for kids with diabetes last summer, and loved it!
The week sounds awesome! I geuss we get to learn how to salsa dance? haha that will be interesting! Did you already book your plane ride?

Same here, I could never afford it without the scholarship! lol but I'm sooo excited! It will be my first time traveling as well, and by myself! I'm 19 and I'm going to college at American International College in Springfield, MA for Nursing (I hope to become a CDE :-D) I was diagnosed in 2002 when I was 12, I'm on a pump now, and currently appealing the insurance company for a CGM, so hopefully! :-D What about you?

I believe so! :-) is this your first time going?

Hi! did you receive a scholarship to attend the conference?

Tricia- I wanted to say that I am sorry that I offended you on the recent heated post. It wasn't my intention.
I do feel that being disabled is a lovely part of who I am and one of my first reactions to learning that I had diabetes (mixed in with the disbelief and shock and fear) was, YES! Now I'm more disabled/ will be accepted as disabled.

Separately, I had been and am wondering if you might want to meet up with me sometime. I live on the north side of Chicago and am capable of traveling wherever metra, pace, and cta can take me; if the school you go to is somewhere between where you live and where I live, that might be a good choice of meeting places. If you play chess, I would love to talk over a game, and if not, another board game would also work.
I'm in school Monday and Tuesdays, work on an irregular schedual about two days per week, and am not available Friday nights or Saturdays (Friday day and afternoon are fine). Let me know what you think.

Thanks Tricia! That's good to know -- you're not too far from us :)

We're trying to break a record for the most persons online @ CWD. Pass the message on, please.

Hi Tricia, I hope you have a great holiday season :)

Hey, thanks for the message. I have been off and on here lately and I guess we have just been missing each other. Things are ok, you know, up one day down the next :rolleyes: Hope things are going well with you, I will try and catch you on here so we can catch up on things. :cwds:

It's ok, I figured something came up, I know you are dealing with a lot right now. Hang in there..... :)

Hi there :) Thank you so much. Glad my whining and silliness is being put to good use ;)
I'm sorry for all you're going through. I hope you get some answers real soon. Take care.

Hope you are feeling better..... :)

Tricia, I think I just got this...sorry I didn't see? But my mind is so scatterbrained I may have already replied! If not I just wanted to say thankyou...it feels good to know I am not alone and have others who understand what I am going through! Robin
